i think my contactor is bad thats why its so loud.  no sure whats up

[mr.mindless]

God damnit.

[M4wdFab]

that is piss poor design!  how could that have not possibly happened before in a working shop with monkeys lol   

[mr.mindless]

$90 mistake.

It has no drain. That’s cool. Guess I’ll just leave it up instead of using it to put a new tube in my mower tire.

Flipped 180* will improve clearance.

Motors and resis are on the other side of the lift post on the other 2. Could still get hit but not nearly as easily.

weld bump stops onto the post.

[mr.mindless]

Weld on the post? Probably be fine, but no thanks. Same realm as welding on a heat treated truck frame.

Doubt it’ll ever happen again especially with the tank flipped and being aware of it. Also won’t be an old brittle tank.

Anyway I came to say this, not y’all about that

No tire machine but I can manage things with some nice helpers.

I meant like a tack weld, nothing deep. It doesnt take much to make a bumpstop to prevent this from happening again.  Or make a cage for that reservoir.

[mr.mindless]

It can’t be deflected though. Angle is locked as soon as it’s off the ground. I guess I could keep it from going that far as it leaves the ground. That’d do

I’ve realized the toolbox belongs where I put the shelves. Essentially the dead center of the shop. Minimizes distance to any point. Tools in use definitely end up belonging on the tool cart that goes to point of work. Full set of sockets and wrenches. Current tool cart is really too small to carry full set of metric and standard both.

[M4wdFab]

i end up using the projector cart as a tool cart when working on the lift.  it saves time running back and fourth to home location of tools, and also encourages you to put everything away when the job is done, or at least ever other day when it gets over crowded.

Dumb question: how bad an idea to put a 240 and 120 outlet on the same circuit? Thinking just run 4 wires from a 240 breaker to a 240 and 120 for fridge and range.

Assume against code, and probably a bad idea for reasons? But curious.

Just run 6 wires from 2 circuits the 15ish feet and do it right.
Need to make a list and see what might be in the auction lot box. Probably rough that out tomorrow.

[M4wdFab]

im guessing something to do with no neutral on a 240 source and you dont want current on the 240 ground...


not sure if i answered that correctly but ya just run more wires.  wire and conduit is cheap for what you get forever in a nice building! 

[mr.mindless]

Oh yeah, it only would save one wire not two.

I need to get some stock of house wiring wire.

i like the oil/gas resistance thhn stranded for everything house or hotrod
